Exploding memory prices are prompting corporate buyers to accelerate PC purchases, with DRAM and NAND prices soaring 80-90% since late 2025. Lenovo reported a 14% revenue increase in its Intelligent Devices Group, with PC revenues up 18%. The memory supply shortage is expected to have a prolonged impact, leading to higher prices and potentially lower shipment volumes. Analysts predict a 10-15% decline in PC shipments if costs are fully passed to consumers, while average selling prices for PCs are expected to rise significantly due to the anticipated memory shortage.

- The rising prices of DRAM and NAND, up 80 to 90 percent since late 2025, are pushing corporate buyers to expedite PC purchases to avoid further increases.  
- Lenovo's revenue in its Intelligent Devices Group grew by 14 percent yearly, attributing part of this to heightened demand before anticipated price hikes, with expectations of prolonged high prices impacting the market significantly.  
- Analysts predict a possible 10 to 15 percent decline in PC shipments as consumers adjust to higher costs, while overall revenue may rise due to an uptick in premium device sales driven by AI investments.

Memory price explosion triggers PC buying spree

Lenovo reported a 21% profit decline in its latest fiscal quarter, taking a $285 million restructuring charge due to a shift in the AI computing market. The company's gross margin fell as it struggled with rising memory prices. The restructuring reflects Lenovo's slow adaptation to the democratization of AI, moving from AI training in cloud facilities to on-premises AI inferencing. Despite a 31% revenue increase in its infrastructure unit, it reported an operating loss of $11 million. Lenovo's stock fell 4.6% following the report, highlighting investor concerns about its transition to an AI-focused business.
